Season The Cheese Crackers

This mixture is the seasoning sauce that gives the cheese crackers their flavor! It doesn’t look like much, but it is a powerhouse of flavor.

The seasoning sauce is now ready to flavor the cheese crackers.

Pour the cheese crackers into a large mixing bowl, and then pour the warm seasoning sauce over them.

Add all the sauce, and then gently stir this mixture until all the crackers have been covered with the seasoning sauce.

Bake The Taco-Spiced Cheese Crackers

Lay the seasoned crackers out on a very large baking sheet (13″ or 15″ long) with rimmed edges. If you don’t have access to a LARGE baking sheet, try cooking them in batches or on two small baking sheets.

Spread the crackers out on the pan, trying to put the crackers in a single layer, as much as possible. This helps spread them out so the sauce bakes (and dries) on them evenly!

Bake the taco-spiced cheese crackers at 250°F. for 1 hour. Give them a good stir, then re-position them on the baking sheet every 15 minutes while they bake.

Cool Then Serve The Taco-Spiced Cheese Crackers

When the crackers are finished baking, transfer them off the baking sheet and onto a large sheet of parchment or wax paper. Spread them out, and let them cool to room temperature.
